《The Whale》歌词

[00:00:00] The Whale - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

[00:00:08] Here's a song about a whale

[00:00:11] With a most amazing appetite

[00:00:15] In San Francisco town there lived a whale

[00:00:21] Who ate pork chops by the pale

[00:00:24] By the pill-box by the suitcase

[00:00:28] By the bathtub by the schooner

[00:00:34] Her name was Sara and she's a peach

[00:00:38] But you can't leave food within her reach

[00:00:42] Nor nurse-maids nor Airedales

[00:00:46] Nor chocolate ice-cream sodas

[00:00:52] She eats a lot but when she smiles

[00:00:56] You can see her teeth for miles and miles

[00:01:00] And her adenoids and her spare ribs

[00:01:05] And things too fierce to mention

[00:01:10] So what can you do in a case like that

[00:01:15] What can you do except sit on your hat

[00:01:18] Or your toothbrush or your grandmother

[00:01:23] Or anything else that's helpless
